Halfway through both, I like each of them

But I like Breaking Bad better so far.

What do you think?

sopranos
>>
breaking bad no question
>>
Breaking Bad.
>>
Breaking Bad was good but Sopranos is on another level.
>>
>>67824687
Why are those most critically m-acclaimed shows always related to criminal organizations? Are we all just hardened criminals looking for an outlet to live vicariously through and watching these programs through rose-colored glasses? I mean BB isn't that groundbreaking.
>>
>>67824687

The Sopranos is the better show with more depth. I just don't really like it, as poignant as the family is I don't enjoy spending time with Tony.
>>
>>67825515
We're all for the most part Law-abiding casuals and the criminal world is dark dangerous and exciting.
>>
The Sopranos is so much better than Breaking Bad it's not even comparable.
>>
>>67825515
Because the characters challenge conventional morality which gets people thinking.

Also finish both of those shows. Who the fuck watches two shows at the same time and compares them back and forth?

Story and character-wise, Sopranos

In terms of action, suspense, and cinematic beauty i say Breaking Bad.
Debate me faggots.
>>
if you watch both series fully and like Breaking Bad better you are a full on turbopleb.
>>
>>67825573
>cinematic beauty

Sopranos kills Breaking Bad.

>>67825573
mostly truthful, I would only argue that sopranos isn't completely devoid of cinematic beauty, there are some pretty amazing scenes.

Thanks for the (You)s but you really should remember that BB is fucking god-tier cinematically and this cannot be debated : https://youtu.be/d9zFs8SF4K0

Breaking Bad paces itself well and is constantly entertaining. You know with every episode that things are going to unravel for Walt just a bit more.

The Sopranos has better moments than BB, but it can get boring at times. Sopranos seasons start with a slow burn and feel directionless at times. All the seasons have great endings though.

Overall, I would say BB has a better story, but The Sopranos has better writing.

yeah it's probably better, vince gilligan is amazing.
On a side note, and this is in no way an attempt to start an argument, the majority of the breaking bad fanatic audience have never finished any other show, apart from maybe game of thrones. And I feel breaking bads cinematography is easier to 'get' for them. Like they get it a fundamental level, but only because that's all they can be bothered to see. If you do careful rewatches, breaking bad is much more than that.
I realised this after I tried to turn a group of friends onto the sopranos after they finished breaking bad together. Within less than 2 seasons, all of them unified under the opinion of lazy cinematography and boring writing.
I was triggered heavily that day, but made sure they didn't see it.

I think you're a pleb.

Breaking Bad was great, but it doesn't compare to The Sopranos.

Just finished The Sopranos earlier.

Tony got capped right?

Sopranos is on an entirely different level.

BraBad is a pretender.

That's how I have it in my head anyway.

Breaking Bad. Never saw Sopranos
>>
>>67828422

It doesn't matter.

BrbA Overstayed its welcome, sopr moves along nicely
>>
>>67828498
I know it doesn't. Doesn't mean I don't want to discuss it.
>>
>>67828541

No really, that's the point, it doesn't matter. That's the statement the ending is trying to make.
>>
>>67828557
He gets it man, he understands. But he just wants to discuss it because discussion is fun
>>
BB was good watching it for the first time, but I couldn't even make it half way on a rewatch. I've watched Sopranos 4 times now.
>>
>>67824687
Breaking Bad is shallow as shit and has only spurts of cinematic brilliance and cool spectacle scenes.
>>
>>67824687
Sopranos. There wouldn't be a breaking bad without Tony and David Chase
>>
>>67828943
I think this is because of the characters being more interesting, I could watch most sopranos characters talk pointlessly forever.

Sopranos, either ways you are le danger xdd
>>
>The Sopranos
>The Wire
>The Shield
>Six Feet Under
>Deadwood
>Twin Peaks
>True Detective
>Oz
>Rome
>Mad Men

These are the /tv/ essentials, right?

Are the last two worth watching? They're the only ones I haven't seen. Mad Men seems really over-hyped to me.
>>
>>67829110

Way better dialogue and bants as well

>SCIENCE BITCH hurr hurr hurr
>>
>>67829287

Sopranos is my all time favorite, but Mad Men is fantastic unless you need action and stupid cliffhangers.
>>
>>67829287
twin peaks season 2 fucking blows until the end obv
>>
>>67828454

So, your opinion in the matter is completely irrelevant. Thanks.
>>
>>67829531
Its very relevant
>>
>>67829348

>Madmen

Don is the only character to come close to the level of audience exposure that Tony achieved

great characters

great dialogue and bants

it's just missing something sopranos had that keeps sopranos as my #1
>>
>>67829575
it's not really
>>
>>67829575

You've only seen one show. You can't offer any kind of valid opinion without all of the information. Don't be a dummy.
>>
>>67829629
>>67829681
I'm more relevant than anyone on this site
